@LMAO is flooding the site with random communities because they’re salty about being banned for claiming too many community names. They claim they’re trying to “fuck your entire site up” but I imagine it’s a relatively quick fix to delete all the communities they’re creating, LMAO.

    Doesn’t help too much, you can generate infinite email accounts with gmail for an example.

    Manual acceptance of each and every user helps, but it’s not sustainable.

      Don’t even need that, 1 click temporary email boxes everywhere

        That’s what I used… I have no intention of being a troll or asshole, but I don’t want social media like this platform linked to me IRL and never have.

          Personally I just use a dumping ground email address. Just an address i use for any website I don’t particularly trust that I never look at unless I know there’s a confirmation email waiting for me

        True, but a common thing websites do is block those domains, at least the easier to find ones. Nearly nobody blocks gmail.

            Some sites do this and it’s annoying. A better check is to compare the part before the + if it’s Gmail.

                Whether or not Lemmy supports this at this point, I dunno, but it’s easy enough to code your username verification to remove all +s and periods before continuing to ensure uniqueness.

                  Period can be removed with gmail emails. However, for +s, the whole part after + and before @ needs to be removed if removing+ as that part indicates the folder emails come to. Yet, the same issue would still remain for any Google Workspace emails as they also support + but doesnt end with gmail domain.

                    Ah yes, you corrected my logic on the +. Thanks for the added insight on the Google workspace.

                That is not actually true. The + method works, but not the . method.
